I offer remote services no branch apt needed, electronic signing.

It sounds to me like you've found value in the relationship enough to workout an offer that compensates everyone and doesn't leave you feeling in a weird spot.

You're spot on with how private money lending offers speed and flexibility compared to traditional banks.

There is no “hard money” purchase option in the realtor offer forms, so cash kinda makes sense, but there is a spot for “other,” which maybe is a better spot?

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Engelo Rumora: Haven't walked a property in years and just did one with my team a few weeks ago.I forgot the thrill of seeing these things derelict and then fixing them up.What a pleasure to see the transformation.What started as a simple dream for me of moving to the US and buying, fixing, holding a few properties and moving back to Australia turned into thousands of rehabs, many companies, staff and monsters with 17 heads lolIt's nice going back to the basics of how it all began.Just simply checking out distressed properties, negotiating, buying and fixing them up.Ahhhh, the good old days 🙏You are spot on!

TIAIf you have an electronic record (bank statement, credit card, accounting software, etc) of the transaction the IRS doesn't require you to keep receipts unless it's a cash (took real paper money out of your pocket) transaction for $75 or more.

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

The area is a mix of established homes and updated properties, making it a prime spot for a fix-and-flip.

We are small but doing big things.What others are saying about syndications is spot on and it should share investors to death.

I think the "sweet spot" is going to be getting in early, right as the "pain" is first being released and as all the big $ starts doing acquisitions.
